There is narration with the video, so please make sure that your sound is on.

I agree, several of the screens could have been executed better. The idea behind the video is not to critique their execution, but rather to get some ideas for some offensive concepts and actions that you might be able to use.

Two Sideline Inbounds Plays from the WNBA to use after timeouts, or for an end of game situation.

My hope for you is that you can take actions and movements from these plays to fit into your system and the abilities of your players.

Los Angeles Sparks – Winner 2.0

Doug’s comments: The Sparks took the popular “Winner” SLOB set and added a zipper action at the beginning, as well as a down screen at the end. It is a tremendous design, which resulted in an open three late in the game.

4 sets pin down for 1 on zipper cut

2 flare screens 4 to opposite baseline

3 throws skip pass to 4

5 sets screen for 1

1 has a shot OR…

Can hit 4 OR…

5 sets a down screen for 2

3 spaces to corner

Phoenix Mercury – Zipper Pistol Flare SLOB

Doug’s comments: The Mercury ran this ATO to get Diana Taurasi an open three. There are multiple options, as the zipper cut turns into Pistol Action, and ends with a weak side flare screen for the inbounder.

This play to run at the end of the game down 3 was contributed by Doug Brotherton to the FastModel Sports Basketball Plays and Drills Library.

This is what Coach Brotherton said about the play:

This SLOB set was used by Princeton in the 2017 NCAA Tournament. Down by 3, with under 20 seconds left, this set resulted in a wide open three point shot. I have added an elevator screen to the end of this set, in the case that the first shooter does not have a shot.

I have also posted some video of the play that was edited by Gibson Pyper

Brush Clear

 
Contributed by Matt Wheeler, Olympia High School, Orlando, Florida.

The Boston Celtics ran this play with the score tied and 36.3 seconds left in game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Celtics wanted to get a quick score within 5 or 6 seconds so they would end up with the last possession of the game. As 2 gets the inbounds pass, 3 & 4 cut to the corners for spacing. 1 sets a brush screen for 2, allowing 2 to drive hard right looking for a layup or a kickout to a shooter.

5 sets a down screen for 2.

3 & 4 exchange and cut to opposite corners.

1 passes to 2.
 

1 sets a brush screen for 2.

2 drives right for a layup or a kick out to a shooter in the corner.
